Aparabolic microphone used on the sidelines of a professional football game uses a reflective dish 24 in. wide and 5 in. deep. how far from the bottom of the dish should the microphone b placed?

check the picture below.

so the microphone looks more or less like that.

notice, if we put the center of it at the origin, the vertex (h,k) = (0,0), and the parabola passes through (12, 5).  How far from the bottom?  well, that'd be the focus point of the parabola, and that'd be "p" distance from the vertex.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

answer: a) 56% women
